Davis Ground Floor Dates Bldg. PIATTSMOUTH dl A. J. P. Bertschy is Called to Last Adventure Inventor and Promotion Genius Found Dead Near Home in Omaha One Time Resident Here. A. J. P. Bertschy, 5S, who has oc cupied a thirty year period as in ventor and promoter in this section of Nebraska, was found dead Tues day morning in front of his resi dence, 2309 Perkins avenue, East Omaha. The death of Mr. Bertschy was at tributed to heart trouble and bron chial pneumonia. . He had been suf fering from asthma for some time and apparently had suffered a hem orrhage sometime Monday night and started out to his car, falling and bleeding to death. In recent years Mr. Bertschy has been engaged in the attempt to lo cate an oil well in the vicinity of Omaha, having invented a device that he had claimed would unfailingly locate the oil stream and in many places in Douglas and Earpy coun ties he had claimed to have found the most favorable traces of oil. This A-as his last travel into the inventive field in which he had spent a life time of experiment and in the pro motion of the various lines that he iad been engaged in. The first appearance of this strange agure was some thirty years ago when he arrived in Council Bluffs A-ith a truck, equipped with many levices that were then far ahead of their time and have now become a oart of the standard auto equipment. He was able to induce Council Bluffs men to back him financially and a building was erected and for several years ho was engaged in the auto business only to see it fail and he turned his attention to other lines of activity. The auto activity was fol 'owed by Bertschy in the developing of a radio tube and later he promoted a company to manufacture oxy-acety-lene welding welding equipment, which had a large sale. Later he abandoned his other activities to try and develop a process for hardening steel. Following the close of the war, Mr. Bertschy was a resident of Platts mouth for a period of a few years, operating the plant and machine shop that had been erected by the late Lee C Eharp. 'This plant' operating for a time was soon abandoned as had many of the other lines of activity of Mr. Bertschy and his attention was then turned to the oil field and fol lowed by his invention of the oil find 3r, the last of his inventions. Mr. Bertschy was married four times, his present wife residing In California. He is survived also by two adopted children, Mrs. Chauncy Cook of Omaha, and Robert Bertschy, a naval officer, now stationed at Honolulu.
